Social and Affective Problems of Children Who Are Clumsy: How Early Do How Early Do They Begin?Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry
The Assessment of "Clumsy" Children: Old and New Approaches1987 •
Objectives: Social development in children is influenced by several factors, including family, school friends, television, gender, race, socioeconomic status, and locomotor activity, and depending on the situation and how they react to it, social development and maturity might get accelerated or get undermined. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between fine motor skills and social development and maturity in children. Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical study that included 85 children in the age group of 6-8 years (41 boys and 44 girls). We used a two-stage random sampling method in order to select samples from elementary schools in Regions 14 and 15, Tehran. Information was collected through the General Health Questionnaire and demographic questionnaire, which was filled by the parents. Fine motor skills test consisting of three subtests, i.e. response speed, visual-motor control, and upper-limb speed and dexterity, was measured using Bruninks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency. Social maturity was measured using Vineland social maturity scale. The entire process lasted for a month and the mean, standard deviation, range of changes, minimum, and maximum values were analyzed. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare mean scores of variables between male and female groups and significance level for statistical tests was analyzed at α=0.05. Results: Significant correlation between social quotient and total score of fine motor skills variable was obtained (P<0.001, r=0.46). A significant correlation was also observed between visual-motor control score and social quotient (P<0.001, r=0.44) and between social quotient and upper-limb speed and dexterity (P<0.001, r=0.36). However, there was no significant correlation observed between response speed and social quotient (P<0.42, r=0.08). Discussion: According to the results, there is a significant association between fine motor skills with respect to visual-motor skills of hands and social competence and maturity in children. As a result, fine motor skill can be used as an important factor along with other effective factors in improving social skills of children who have defects in the social field

Comparison of motor competence levels on two assessments across childhood2017 •
This study compared performances and motor delay classifications for the Test of Gross Motor Development-2nd edition (TGMD-2) and the Körperkoordinationstest Für Kinder (KTK) in a sample of 424 healthy children (47% girls) between 5 and 10 years of age. Low-to-moderate correlations (r range = 0.34-0.52) were found between assessments across age. In general, both boys and girls demonstrated higher raw scores across age groups. However, percentile scores indicated younger children outperformed older children, denoting a normative percentile-based decrease in motor competence (MC) in the older age groups. In total, the TGMD-2 and KTK classified 39.4% and 18.4% children, respectively, as demonstrating very low MC (percentile ≤5). In conclusion, the TGMD-2 classified significantly more children with motor delays than the KTK and the differences between children's motor skill classification levels by these assessments became greater as the age groups increased. Therefore, the TGMD-2 m...

The effect of social disadvantage on motor development in young children: a comparative study2007 •
Background: Empirical research suggests that social disadvantage has a negative effect on the development of language, and related cognitive skills such as reading. There is, however, no corresponding body of research on the impact of social disadvantage on motor development. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of social disadvantage on motor development in young children. In addition, we explored a possible link between an early neuromotor indicator and attainments in language, and reading.Methods: The Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measure was used to identify two contrasting districts based on a composite measure of social disadvantage. We investigated the effect of social disadvantage on the motor attainments of a sample of 239 children aged 4–5 years, and 276 children aged 7–8 years attending mainstream schools in each district using a standardised motor assessment battery, and a motor neurodevelopmental measure. We used standardised recepti...

Development of motor-life-skills: variations in children at risk for motor difficulties from the toddler age to preschool age2017 •
This paper presents a review of the research focusing on the study of coordination and motor competence in the adolescent stage. The purpose of this article was to provide an insight into the different dimensions of adolescent motor development in the influence of the evolution of motor co-ordination at this stage of life. The review included the most relevant studies between 2000 and 2012. Inclusion criteria focused on the selection of studies that have examined adolescents aged between 13 and 17 years, corresponding to the stage of secondary school and the first year of Non-compulsory Education. Also, samples of the studies included participants who do not have physical or intellectual disabilities. The results showed an increased interest in the study of motor co-ordination and show alarming data on increased motor co-ordination problems in this critical stage of life. The authors suggest the need to maintain adequate levels of motor competence in these ages, reflecting on how the low competence may affect other dimensions of adolescent development.
